12 Most Notoriously Selfish Stars In WWE History

For these people, it was their way or no way.

We all know that pro wrestling is a cutthroat business, one that requires a certain degree of selfishness to ensure a talent's self-preservation. Wrestlers are always fiercely protective of their spot, because if they're not someone will come along behind them and usurp their position. A passive attitude is a detriment to long-term, sustained success. Someone like Daniel Bryan is admittedly accepting of whatever is asked of him and commits to making the best out of any given match or angle, and Ric Flair - despite being one of the all-time greats whose losses far exceed his wins - was always willing to lay down for his opponent if it was the right things to do. But for a top star, men like the current Intercontinental champion and The Nature Boy are outliers, a rarity in the business. The history of wrestling is filled with men and women who were infamously difficult to work with, whether over their refusal to do jobs, holding out for more money or just being generally disagreeable. That being said, it doesn't mean it's a negative characteristic to possess. Wrestling is an industry built on the tremendous sacrifices of the performers in the ring, and they're the only one who has their best interests in mind. Some wrestlers take that to an entirely different level, though and have gained a reputation as being self-centered to the point that it's bad for business and hurts the other talent on the roster. These are the performers we're going to be talking about in this article. Read on to discovery the 12 Most Notoriously Selfish Stars In WWE History.
